Role-Playing Game

The MechWarrior role-playing game has three editions and many expansions and adventures, the first of which was published in 1985 by FASA, bringing Japanese style mecha to an American audience. In addition, numerous fictional novels have been written that both create and flesh out the BattleTech world by such authors as Michael Stackpole. There is also an animated series.

In order to reduce confusion between WizKid's MechWarrior: Dark Age games and the MechWarrior roleplaying game, FanPro (the current publisher of the RPG) has renamed the MechWarrior roleplaying game as \"Classic Battletech RPG\".

Collectible Miniatures Game

In 2002, WizKids released MechWarrior: Dark Age, a collectible miniature-based wargame similar to Heroclix and Mage Knight, distinct from the BattleTech wargame. In 2003, MechWarrior: Dark Age won the Origins Awards for Best Illustration 2002, Best Science Fiction or Fantasy Miniatures Series 2002 and Game of the Year 2002. In 2005, WizKids updated MechWarrior: Dark Age. In conjunction with a rules overhaul, the game was renamed MechWarrior: Age of Destruction.

The Mechwarrior sets released so far are: Dark Age, Fire for Effect, Death from Above, Liao Incursion, Counterassault, Falcon's Prey, Age of Destruction, Firepower, Annihlilation, Domination, Vanguard and Wolf Strike. WizKids has also announced the release of a set entitled Outlaws.

Video Games

A number of computer and console games have been made based on the BattleTech universe, including several open source computer games attempt to create a computer version of the original BattleTech board game.

Cockpit Simulators/ 3rd Person Action

In these games, players take control of a single BattleMechs and combat other BattleMechs, tanks, infantry, and more, from within the cockpit of their machine. A 3rd person alternate view is available in Mechwarrior versions 2, 3 and 4. Both MechWarrior 2 and MechWarrior 3 were Origins Award winners, taking Best Fantasy or Science Fiction Computer Game 1995 and Best Action Computer Game 1999 respectively.

Mechwarrior 2, Ghost Bear's Legacy and Mercenaries deal with the events immediately before, during and immediately after the Clan Invasion of the Inner Sphere.
